It Ih not sur prising that Bolshevik Ism is tnsiuK root rapidly. THE I'liKSlDKNT'S veto of the mmy reilm-tiim bill is a ease of "Jlr." Wilson. As Sam Wythe points out in the last Saturday Evening Post, the strange ease of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, is no stranger than the case of Dr. and Mr. Wilson, two conflicting per sonalities, one capable of the biggest vision, and the other capable of the smallest action. The President is unable to see in the condition of the world or the needs of the United States, any such change as would justify re duction of the force from 280,000 men. In other words you gentle men had the effrontery to reject "my" League of Nations, the Ameri can people had the effrontery to endorse this rejection, now you ca all pay the piper in increased appropriations for the army and navy. That is the only conclusion to be drawn from the action of tl; President at this time. That the President does not represent his party is shown by the vote of 92 democrats to override bis veto. II tloes not even represent the judgment of many military men, who hav recently testilied in iavor of a reduction in the standing army, and concentration ot efforts upon a trained citizen reserve. As has been previously pointed out in this column the changed economic conditions in this country and the world, justify this action It is not armed invasion this country needs fear, it is European bank ruptcy and internal financial paralysis. The immediate problem before this country is to reduce outlay and increase income, cut off drains in non-productive directions, and concentrate upon activity in productive and constructive channels tins tloes not mean non-resistance, pacificism or any other isms. It merely means 'business sense, cutting the garment to fit the cloth cdjusting immediate policies to meet the greatest immediate dangers. 1 he best insurance against war is first to place this country in a fi rniicml condition to wage war. The outstanding problems of the im mediate future are not to be military problems, not international problems, but domestic and economic problems. When business nor malcy lias been restored, when methods to liouidate the war debts have been devised then will be the time for increasing military expenditures above the irreducible minimum, and not until then. the first business is to put Uncle Sam's house in order. Decreas ing the outlay on his military establishment is the first essential step "The pofillcal status of Iceland is in some ways peculiar. In effect it might be said to be an autonomous state in partnership with Denmark. It has no army or navy and Is under no obliga tion to contribute either men or money to the Danish military forces. Den mark recognizes the country's perma nent neutrality. Furthermore the pres ent arrangement is only temporary, and after December 31, 1910 either of the associated countries may demand a revision of the "Act ot Union" which now unites them." in this direction. XOT A FKIOSII ItlUCKZK (Kugeue JlcjclHtcr) The wind storm of Saturday afternoon did not flirt with buildings and trees ns reported farther north. The rirltlsh proposal for tho United Rtntea to cancel all "war debts" would bo a fine exatnplu of "world solidar ity," but It is hard to bcllovo that the United States will over net that solid. It-seems to be tho general opinion of statesmen and diplomats that there will bo no moro wars until iliu next one. One of tho beanerles served a pio neer rooster Sunday, "a la Maryland."

A COLD, wet wind blows from the sea and puts rheumatics x. in my knee; my sole remaining tooth gets sore, and aches until it seems a bore. The wind comes sighing from tho sea, all (lay and puts a crimp in me. But on the hills, some miles away, the breeze is warm throughout the day, the sunshine on tho land scape glows, and there an old gent might repose without an ill to cause him grief, without occasion for a beef. Why, then you nsk, do 1 remain, upon the seashore and complain? Alas, I could not happy be, where everything is fair to see; unhappy is tho wight who wakes to find his person free from aches; he has no topic and no theme to justify a roar or scream. I sit and watch the seagulls wheel, and tell tho world how tough I feel, describe the ache that racked my head last evening when I went to bd, detail the symptoms I possess, and analyze my .soul's distress, and life seems sweet and full to me, when dank winds come in from the sea. I might be freed from all my ills, they tell me, if I sought the lulls, but, then I'd have no good excuse for shedding tears to beat tho deuce. Iceland Lacks Ice and Railroads WASHINGTON, D. C Carrying Ice to Iceland will appear to most persons tiuout us reasonable as carrying wheat to the Dakotiis, cotton to Texas, or beans to Boston. But according to re cent press ilisputches tho Icelanders liuvo inndo nn appeal to Norway, tho nearest European country, to ship them Ico In ordur that they may save ineir burring harvest from spoiling be cause of tho mildness of tho present winter. Some of thu paradoxes of this supposed land of Ico are dealt with in tho following bulletin issued from the Washington, D. C. hoaduuarters ot tho National Geographic society: ' Tho land which has cbnie down In history as Iceland might with more accuracy have been given a diametric ally opposite title, and called 'The I.und of Klrc' The surface of no other country, perhaps, Is so deeply marked uy tho withering blasts that well up from time to time; and in no country or equal area are to bo round so many volcanic peaks and vents. Nearly 6000 sn.ua re. miles or the -lO.otiO or tho coun try s area nro covered by lava riows. Winter In Capital Milder Than In Milan 'Iceland is approximately tho size of Ohio and about S00O square miles lar ger than Ireland. It Is only a short distance off the Kuionewtird coast of Greenland, and its northernmost cape just touches the Arctic Circle. From there thu Midnight Sun can bo seen, in spite or its position so near the North Pole. Iceland, thanks to the Gulf Stream, has a relatively mild winter climate. Reykjavik, tho cardial, is In the same latitude as Nome, Aluska. but has a January temperature milder limn that or Munich, Gcrnianv, or .Milan. Ilaly. Icelandic summers, however, me cool, duo to tho large fields of ice that float down from the north. Grain can not he grown satisfactorily, and nil breadstuffs must bo imported. Hay, potaloes, and turnips uro tho only agricultural products of uny Impor tance. Cattle, horses, and sheep ore raised in considerable numbers, and largo quantities of rish chiefly cod and herring are taken from the neigh boring waters. Though Iceland has an extensive area, for all practical purposes li might Just as well be only a seventh Its actual size. Although ""uropoans emigrated to Iceland ubout seven hun dred years before Old World colonies were established in the now tamed North America, only tho valleys and lowlands noitr (he coast of the island nave ever been developed. This is not because ot a lack of energy on the part oi i no nurdy Scandinavians who set tled the island, but because the inter ior, comprising ubout six-sevenths of tho total area, is a wasto of lava. bind. iters and gravel, dovoid of vegetation. America's Discoverers Came Frotr Iceland i no island is approximately 200 miles wide und 300 miles long, but hardly a habitation can be found more man 10 miles from suit water. There are no railroads and few carriage roads. Tho Inhabitants depend almost entirely on water transportation along me coast and m the many fiords. "Iceland can be considered the half way-station between Europe and Amer ica. Nearly 700 years before Columbus sailed to tho West Indies through the warm south Atlantic in his relatively large, decked ships, daring Scandiuii vlan sea rovers in their oxm boats passed irom Norway to Iceland und from there to the coasts of Maine and itliodu Island. "Though Icelanders, faced by iiuplac- aute natural rotccs and conditions, have been unable to achieve any great degree or physical development on their luvu-covured, short-summered Island, they have tnndo notable ad vances in less inuterial fields. A truly remarkable literary development sprang up in this far northern .island In thu twelfth and tmrteenth centuries, a full hundred years before the Kttnais sanco began to make itself fort in sunny Italy. Married Women Keep Their Own Names "In more recent times tho Icelanders have shown themselves to be in Ad vance ot many parts of the world in their social und iwlitlcal Ideas. Women had full political privileges in Iceland earlier probably than iu any other civilized country. At the present tinu part of tho Althing, the Icelandic par liament Is elected by proportional representation. Votes for women is not the only murk which feminism has piuceu on the life of leolaud. The cus torn of women retaining their own names when they marry is more gen eral in Iceland, perhaps, than iu anv other modem country. How Much Do You Know?
